For example, you are not allowed to co-mingle personal funds with plan funds or work on the property yourself.I think that cashing out an IRA to buy rentals is not a terrible idea if you can get decent returns in your market.

After aggressive encounters, many jurisdictions refuse to allow specific dogs to live in the area.

You don’t have to be aggressive about it but maintaining friendly contact can go a long way.

So holding the property and even renting at below market to get it filled quicker with slightly less cash flow (maybe 100-200 less at most) is still a decent deal as a buy and hold.

@Helena Goyvaerts it will be tough without 2+ years of USA tax returns showing you are profitable.Higher interest rates have negatively affected most lenders and many of them are getting more aggressive with offering more flexible programs. 

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

Quote from @Rafael Valdor: Quote from @Anthony Therrien-Bernard: Quote from @Rafael Valdor: hi fellow investors,I want to rent out my townhouse in Calgary, but haven't had much luck with it on Rentfaster and Zillow.Just a couple of tire kickers so far.I reached out to a few Realtors (just for tenant placement) and got crickets...So I'm going to reach out to PM's next, but I was reluctant to do it since all I hear are horror stories.Any suggestions for half decent PM's or realtors who specialize in residential leasing?

I have had decent success challenging appraisals and getting improved results.  

There's a decent jump in rate from 75% to 80% LTV which also affects cash flow...I can't imagine that anything above 80% would be feasible. 

He seems to be a decent and smart guy though I have not invested with him.
